Dr. Wyndham shared, “I am honored to continue serving the Avon community as the next Superintendent. The vision and leadership of the Board of School Trustees was evident throughout the interview process and I believe we are poised to continue making great progress as a school district.

My family has called Avon home for 13 years and I am honored to work and live in this great community.”
